6) Full Container - Ram compactors do little to change the size and shape of material prior to bin insertion. This can result in the top portion of a container remaining empty and the material being packed so tight that workers must climb into the container or use pre-laid cables used to pull material out. Since the Sani-Tech Auger pre-crushes and blends the material together during processing, our bins are consistently full and always empty without human intervention. 7) Less Maintenance - The only routine maintenance on the auger compactor is main bearing lubrication. By using the Automatic Lubricator, even this requirement is minimized. 8) Increased Safety - Ram-compactors often jam from material "bouncing back" into the charge box. This material gets wedged underneath and behind the ram, requiring a person to climb into the charge box or dismantle the ram container to remove the material.
conventional hydraulic compactor. This feature also insures that the operator does not have to wait for material in the auger chamber to be processed before adding additional material. The operator simply throws material into the hopper, closes the door and turns the unit on. The compactor crushes and processes the material into a receiver bin without any waiting time and is immediately ready for more.

Sani-Tech Stationary Auger Compactors are 100% sealed and liquid tight when the Compactor and Receiver Bin are together. This is accomplished with a neoprene Nozzle to Bin Gasket coupled with an Auger Nozzle that penetrates nine (9) inches into the Receiver Bin. An optional Liquid Drain System insures that liquids are drained out of the Compactor and Receiver Bin before hauling. Removing liquids will reduce the risk of liquid spillage during Bin separation and reduce the weight of the compacted material. The volume of material spilled during Bin separation (about two shovels full) is minimized by virtue of the relatively small Auger opening. Self-Contained Compactors have a Compaction Unit and a Receiver Bin that are molded together in one seamless piece. This means that the waste hauler has to transport the additional weight of the Compaction Unit during each haul thereby reducing the amount of trash that can be hauled, and the size of the Bin that can be used. Sani-Tech Stationary Auger Compactors are securely fastened in place. The Receiver Bin is the only part that is picked up by the waste hauler thereby increasing the amount of trash that can be processed and the allowable Bin size that can be used. Self-Contained Compactors used in Thru-the-Wall Chute applications, or applications where the waste hauler has to pick up the Compactor assembly from the Bin end, require the use of four Wheels (no legs) and Bale Hooks on both ends. This is because the waste hauler has to pull out the Compactor assembly from the Bin end, turn it around, and pick it up again from the Compactor end in order to empty the Bin. This is laborious and time consuming. One way to eliminate this problem is to use a special Self-Contained Compactor called a "Hinge Tail". A "Hinge Tail" is basically a Compaction Unit that is permanently molded to the Receiver Bin's trash door. The trash door is opened by means of two (2) heavy-duty hydraulic pistons. A "Hinge Tail" is picked from the Bin end and dumped from the Compactor end. There are two major drawbacks to this option: 1) High cost 2) The extra weight added to the Compactor assembly reduces the amount of trash that can be hauled even more. Sani-Tech Stationary Auger Compactors are securely fastened in place. The waste hauler can easily pick up the Receiver Bin independently. Self-Contained Compactor Trash Chutes cannot be attached to the Compaction Unit. This is because the Compaction Unit and Receiver Bin are molded together in one seamless piece so the entire assembly must be removed during hauling. This presents two problems: 1) Realigning the Compaction Unit with the Trash Chute after each haul 2) The rubber gasket used between the Trash Chute and the Compaction Unit is easily damaged, and usually insufficient to keep liquids and trash from escaping. Sani-Tech Stationary Auger Compactors are securely fastened in place thereby allowing Trash Chutes to be permanently attached and sealed.
Stationary Compactor - A "stand alone" unit that is permanently bolted to the ground. A Receiver Bin is attached to the compactor with two ratchet binders. Only the Receiver Bin is loaded onto the haulers truck when it's ready to be emptied. Self-Contained Compactor - A Compactor and Receiver Bin that are assembled as one seamless, liquid-tight unit. The complete assembly is loaded onto the haulers truck when it's ready to be emptied Receiver Bin - A reinforced steel container that holds the processed material. Auger Chamber - The loading area of a compactor, measured in cubic yards, which holds the refuse prior to compaction. Clear Top Opening - The opening above the auger chamber Auger - The pushing and pre-crushing component used in Auger style compactors Ram - The pushing component of a hydraulic compactor that moves the refuse from the charging chamber to the compaction container where it is compressed. Pre-crusher - A special stationary compactor with a hydraulically operated door at the end of the charge chamber. The door is hydraulically lowered and bulky materials are crushed against it. The door is then raised and the crushed material is pushed into the container. Drum Crusher - A machine designed similar to a vertical baler that is designed to crush one (or more) steel or fiber drums. Front Load/Rear Load - The Receiver Bin that is picked up on site and dumped into a front or rear load refuse truck.
You must consider ALL variables before estimating a Compaction Ratio for any application. Typical Compaction Ratios for auger style compactors start around 5 to 1 but are subject to interpretation. Do not buy a compactor based on the estimated Compaction Ratio alone. Typically the Compaction Ratios provided with quotes are simply an educated guess at best. While they may hold up over time it is best to stay conservative when evaluating a waste stream.
